"No way! I love your face more!"
The mont she blurted out her inner thoughts, Arthur sensed that his heartbeat wasn't in the right order anymore. For so reason, all his senses were going numb.
In the next second, he noticed her face turning pale. 'Why is she making that face? Did she really not want to tell what she was feeling? Is it because I avoid other won who force themselves on ? This can be the reason,' Arthur thought.
He leaned forward and touched her forehead with his. He gazed at her in the eyes and inquired, "Do you love my face?"
Veronica nervously stared at his eyes. She couldn't speak. She was scared.
Arthur let out a deep sigh. Other girls wouldn't hesitate to jump on him and tell him how much they loved him and yet, this girl wanted to keep a proper distance from him after she realized her feelings.
'Why are you so difficult to handle?' he wondered. He circled his arms around her waist and pulled her to his chest. After that, he planted a small kiss on her forehead.
He noticed her body getting rigid. He comfortably hugged her, trying to ease her. Then, he said, "If you don't want to share your thoughts, it's okay. I will wait. But, promise you won't ever sacrifice yourself for or anyone else."
Veronica's heart was in a ss. She pondered as her heart was thumping loudly, 'Wh-what does he an? Why is he being so intimate? I don't think I can handle it.'
Arthur added, "Nonetheless, don't think you can stop from what I want to do."
Veronica cautiously questioned him, "What do you want to do?"
"Sothing like this," saying that he kissed her right eye.
"Umm!" Veronica flinched and subconsciously shut her eyes. Afterward, she sensed his lips touching her other eye before trailing down to her cheek and then her jaw. She shuddered and her fingers clasped his clothes.
"...And this…" Arthur whispered in a husky voice and sucked her lower lip. Her lip was soft. It tasted sweet. He felt like he was eating cotton candy. He beca greedier and devoured her upper lip as well. With each passing second, his kiss beca wilder.
"Mnn..." Veronica let out a soft moan. She closed her eyes and stayed still. 'It's a dream. This is a dream,' she thought. She feared that if she opened her eyes, everything would change. She opened her mouth and tried to kiss him back.
However, Arthur didn't let her do as she wished. He pushed his tongue inside her mouth and road around. Her mouth tasted sweeter than anything else. Maybe it was because she drank fruit juice earlier.
It had been so long since he last kissed her like this. It reminded him of their first encounter. That night, he tasted her. She was so fresh and pure. He wasn't able to be with other won after that night. His thoughts wandered around as he recalled her taste of that night while his tongue touched the roof of her mouth.
It was ticklish. Veronica subconsciously jerked her head and ended up biting his tongue.
"Ouch!" Arthur winced and looked at her.
Veronica realized what she had done and looked guilty.
Arthur stared at her for a couple of minutes. Seconds ticked away while Veronica beca scared. She wanted to say 'sorry' but her body was pulled toward him abruptly and in the next second, she was lying down and he was hovering over her.
Then, she heard him saying, "Princess, you are quite stubborn."
"I'm sorry!" Veronica imdiately apologized.
Arthur inquired, "What are you sorry for?" His expression was serious.
"I bit your tongue. I didn't an it." Veronica was restless after seeing his expression. She wanted to run away from his hold.
Arthur playfully asked her, "Then, do you want to continue what we were doing?"
Veronica's face tinted with a red hue. She wanted to but she couldn't just ask for it. She wasn't that shaless. She couldn't take his bullying. She complained, "Why are you acting like this, you skirt chaser?"
"It's because I'm a skirt chaser…" He pondered about the title. He didn't like the title. He thought he should be called sothing more special. "No, it's better if you call 'princess chaser'. Because the only woman I have ever chased is you."
Veronica couldn't believe him. She couldn't help asking, "When did you start chasing ?"
Arthur confessed, "The mont you forgot about your own life and saved . How can I not fall for you after what you did?"
"What?!" Veronica was astounded. She wouldn't be that surprised even if the world fell apart. "You are… you are joking, right? Don't treat like other won."
She greatly feared he would get tired of her and throw her away. After that, nothing would be left. She didn't want that. She would rather have him close to her as a friend. At least, he would be by her side.
When she asked that, Arthur realized why she was hesitating so much. He kissed her cheeks affectionately and said, "What if I say I'm serious? What if I say I want to be with you for the rest of my life?"
Without noticing, her eyes teared up. She held them back and didn't let them fall. "Why… why will you fall for ? Just because I saved you? There were plenty of won who took care of you before, right?"
Arthur answered her, "There was none. No woman ever took care of when I was greatly injured. No woman ever ca to save knowing their lives would be at stake. No woman ever looked at in the sa way knowing I killed people."
Veronica rembered that he killed people. She never approved of killing people but it was to save themselves. Later, she debated inwardly about this a lot. Killing people was wrong but they had to survive. In the end, she gave in. She concluded that if there was a situation like that, she had to survive just like Arthur did or she would end up dying.
"Then, does this an…"
[A/N: I was writing their kiss scene and got nervous. It was so hard to finish the chapter since my heart was all excited and feeling doki doki… I'm so hopeless. -.-" ]
